RECRUITMENT   SOCIAL MEDIA 

Global - In addition to the CV and the interview, Facebook and Twitter checks are now becoming ingrained into the HR recruitment process.

In a survey conducted by Microsoft, 70 of the 100 HR managers in UK, US, Germany and France, admitted to rejecting a candidate based on their online behaviour.

However, Peter Cullen of Microsoft told Telegraph that job candidates' online reputation is not something to be scared of, but something which jobseekers should proactively manage.  "These days, it's essential that web-users cultivate the kind of online reputation that they would want an employer to see."

This includes removing drunken photographs, bad language and messages complaining about the company and work.
